Why Napier?
Hawke's Bay is loved for its sunny climate and array of delightful vineyards, as well as fabulous beaches.
The Hawke's Bay vineyards are all within a short distance of Napier and Hastings. More than 30 vineyards are open to the public for wine tasting with many also operating restaurants.
You can also find plenty of adventure in Hawke's Bay - rafting, horse riding, hunting, fishing, paragliding off Te Mata Peak, hiking, and cycling or walking on the many established trails are all on offer here.
Napier City is known as the Art Deco capital of the world with one of the most complete collections of Art Deco buildings in the world. In 1931 a massive earthquake rocked Hawke’s Bay, destroying the commercial centre of Napier. The rebuild reflected the architectural styles of the times - Stripped Classical, Spanish Mission and Art Deco. One of the best ways to enjoy the streetscape is on a self-guided walk - ask for a map at the information centre or at the Art Deco Trust.
Napier is home to many fine wineries, fabulous restaurants, bars and cafes. The boutique shops are a must-visit, as is the Sea Walls collection of magnificent murals painted on more than 50 walls around the city. Grab a map and walk or ride around the city to see them up close.
The beautifully restored Marine Parade serves as a scenic and popular bridge between the city and the Pacific Ocean, with a wealth of family-friendly activities sure to keep the kids entertained for hours. Napier’s iconic Norfolk Pines, Deco Soundshell, Tom Parker Fountain and ‘Pania of the Reef’ statue are a visual reminder of the city’s past. Drive just outside the city centre to the historic fishing village of Ahuriri to check out the growing list of cafes, bars, restaurants, galleries and boutique stores.
